Chapter 1084

"But you also know that Mr. Duffy was never cut out for business. These one or two difficulties were overcome, but in the end, they could not escape the fate of bankruptcy. At that time, our company was not yet big, but Reynaldo saw that the Duffy Group was about to go bankrupt, so he was anxious and took a risk, trying to achieve great success…"

“What was he in such a hurry for?” Vonnie suddenly asked.

Johnathan glanced at me again and said to Vonnie, “It’s just that I’m worried Esmie might run off with someone.”

Vonnie exclaimed, “Then he is too lacking in confidence.”

“That’s right,” Johnathan sighed, “When he found out that Winston was also going back to his country, he was afraid that Esmie would go to Winston after the Duffy Group closed down. So, he was desperate and invested all his accumulated wealth in a very risky project."

I was scared to death at that time. You see, once this investment failed, not to mention all the previous hard work would be in vain, he would also have to shoulder a huge amount of debt. Fortunately, God had mercy and let him win the gamble.

Vonnie hummed, “He’s pretty lucky.”

“It’s not just luck, Reynaldo is also very bold and resourceful in business. If it were me, I might not succeed.”

“Why are you telling me all this?” I looked at Johnathan and sneered, “You need to understand, the one who needs to give up this relationship is not me, it’s him. This time, it’s not me who doesn’t want him, it’s him… not wanting me.”

“Ah, Reynaldo’s personality is just so quirky, Esmie. Don’t worry, I’ll help you beat him up later,” Johnathan said cheerfully, even making a punching gesture with his hand.

I watched, and a hint of warmth flickered in my heart. I knew he was “trying to coax me and comfort me.” Great job, Johnathan, like a big brother.

I said to him and Vonnie, “You have been with me for half a day, go back, I’m fine.”

“I don’t,” Vonnie said, holding onto my arm with her face pressed against the back of my hand, “I’m going to stay with you at the hospital tonight.”

Johnathan also said, “Wherever Vonnie is, I’ll be there. Esmie, we’ll be at the hospital with you tonight so you don’t get bored and start overthinking.”

I smiled faintly. Indeed, when alone, it feels like being trapped in a dead end. The more painful it is in the heart, the more one thinks, and the more one thinks, the harder it is to get out.

Johnathan looked at me and said earnestly, “Esmie, actually I have said so much to you with the purpose of hoping that you will not hate Reynaldo, and not give up on Reynaldo.”

I smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t you understand yet? This time, he really wants to give up on me.”

“So you can’t give up even more, if both of you retreat, then your relationship, this marriage, will really be over.”

The most fearful thing in a relationship is when both people are unwilling to take the next step. In the past, Reynaldo always moved forward without regret, which has led to the current relationship between you and the birth of two lovely children. He just fell into a misconception now, his belief collapsed, from love to fear, so that he wanted to retreat. At this point, it was necessary for Esmie to move forward, following his footsteps, and pull him out of that dark mental misconception.

I closed my eyes and didn’t want to respond to Johnathan’s words.
